Soccer player Ki Sung-yueng spoke about his past controversial remarks.

On the 15th, a video titled "If you're frustrated, you run, we asked Ki Sung-yueng directly" was posted on the YouTube channel 'Shoot for Love'.

On that day, when other cast members mentioned Ki Sung-yueng's past controversial remarks, he laughed, saying, "How long do we have to keep talking about this?"

Earlier, when criticism intensified over Ki Sung-yueng's performance in the 2007 Beijing Olympics Asian final qualifier match against Uzbekistan, he sparked controversy by posting "If you're frustrated, you run" on his PsyWorld mini-homepage.

When the story related to this came up, teammate Shin Kwang-hoon recalled with a laugh, "I was there when that post was made. About 2 or 3 people around us said, 'That shouldn't be done,' but he wrote it on the computer in the hotel lobby."

Ki Sung-yueng joked, "I wasn't even 20 yet at the time," adding, "It wasn't a fake account; it was my own account. We don't do things like posting on fake accounts."

Shin Kwang-hoon defended Ki Sung-yueng, saying, "So many insults came to the mini-homepage," and Ki Sung-yueng confessed, "There was someone who encouraged it," hinting at someone's real name, though it was blurred out.
